Packets may be borrowed in three-week blocks. A reservation can be made by phone but is not complete until we receive a $10 deposit.

Maria Mahon on 01 Oct 09I thought the idea of borrowing the packets for $10 for three weeks is an interesting copy. This might be useful for schools without the budgets to purchase more expensive packets of materials.

Winterthur (in Delaware) is the former country estate of Henry Francis duPont. He was one of the first avid collectors of American fine and decorative arts and the museum (aside from being a beautiful place to visit) is now a leading center for scholarship in the field. The museum has created packets of primary-source materials that can be used in classrooms if a field trip is not possible.
